Poll of the Day > I had a dream IGN gave the new Bethesda game a 7

(+) Yeah! (+)

And everybody went nuts.

think the consensus is that the score ign gave was fine, but the reasons they gave it that score was because the reviewer didn't know how to play the game and that isn't fine.

like they had some livestream after the review went out, and the dude who reviewed it kept having people point out that his complaints were entirely his fault because he didn't read the tutorial pop-ups. like he complained that his skills were bugged and they weren't leveling up, but he never actually went and put the point into the skill to level it up, for instance. it was another cuphead reviewer situation, where the thing to do was on the screen the whole time but he just kept jumping at it over and over and over and over.

But if the game failed to teach the player how to do things is that not a fault of the game? Maybe it was user error gven journo track records it's easily possible, but there's a fair bit of stuff in StarField that's poorly explained.

the game didn't fail to do anything
